Following Cartoon Brew’s reveal that The Loud House creator Chris Savino had been suspended due to allegations of sexual harassment, Nickelodeon has issued an official statement annoucing Savino’s firing, and confirming that the popular animated series will continue production and remain on air.

The statement issued Thursday afternoon reads in full:

“Chris Savino is no longer working with Nickelodeon. We take allegations of misconduct very seriously, and we are committed to fostering a safe and professional workplace environment that is free of harassment or other kinds of inappropriate conduct.

“The Loud House, which is currently in its second season, will continue to air on Nickelodeon and be in production. Season three is scheduled to premiere in early 2018.” -Nickelodeon Spokesperson
